Winner of the Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Competition, Joanna Schaffhausenâs accomplished debut The Vanishing Season will grip readers from the opening page to the stunning conclusion.
Ellery Hathaway knows a thing or two about serial killers, but not through her police training. She's an officer in sleepy Woodbury, MA, where a bicycle theft still makes the newspapers. No one there knows she was once victim number seventeen in the grisly story of serial killer Francis Michael Coben. The only one who lived.
When three people disappear from her town in three yearsâall around her birthdayâEllery fears someone knows her secret. Someone very dangerous. Her superiors dismiss her concerns, but Ellery knows the vanishing season is coming and anyone could be next. She contacts the one man she knows will believe her: the FBI agent who saved her from a killer all those years ago.
Agent Reed Markham made his name and fame on the back of the Coben case, but his fortunes have since turned. His marriage is in shambles, his bosses think he's washed up, and worst of all, he blew a major investigation. When Ellery calls him, he canât help but wonder: sure, he rescued her, but was she ever truly saved? His greatest triumph is Elleryâs waking nightmare, and now both of them are about to be sucked into the past, back to the case that made them...with a killer who can't let go. - McMillan Palgrave
In the 2016 MB/MWA First Crime Novel Award winner, Ellery Hathaway is the only one who knows the real reason a person goes missing around her birthday each year in her small Massachussets town.
